Creating High Performing Teams

Creating High Performing Teams
Improve Performance, Increase Productivity, Foster Teamwork and Create
Positive Change within the Organization

Employees are confronted with dramatic changes in the workplace firsthand, from executive suite to shop floor. Technology has made people and information accessible, anywhere, anytime. Demands for instant performance are becoming the norm. For your new and current workforce, teamwork, positive attitudes and effective communication skills are crucial to personal and organizational success.

As your organization continues to grow and change this will require that work gets done by people coming together to accomplish common goals, then splitting apart to face challenges in their work area. Success will depend on a team’s ability to understand and work from their strengths, relate positively, and adapt quickly while building on their experiences.

Effective teams are critical to performance improvement in most organizations today. Yet they are often poorly managed or not even encouraged to develop. The Creating High Performing Teams process provides proven approaches to creating and sustaining teams that achieve their goals and get results.

Give your people the tools, knowledge and skills they need to become high performing teams

Creating High-Performing Teams is a people development strategy to help employees discover and capitalize on their strengths and use those strengths to do great things within their organization. It’s designed to help employees understand how to effectively manage themselves and their working relationships. Creating a positive work environment is key to the growth of any organization.

This process is designed to help your teams:

Improve communication skills – which results in fewer errors and do-it-again projects.
Understand roles and goals – which results in personal responsibility and accountability.
Learn to solve people problems – which results in reduced conflicts and less stress.
Discover & capitalize on strengths – which results in improved job performance.
Create collaborative working relationships – which results in greater efficiency & cooperation.
Develop effective self-managing strategies-which results in higher productivity.
Develop good decision-making skills – which results in reduced project cycle time.

The Creating High Performing Teams process incorporates the highly acclaimed DISC model of human behavior, and includes other optional assessments as well. DISC provides a non-judgmental language for exploring behavioral issues. The DISC profiles help people understand their behavioral style, develop the ability to read other people’s styles, and learn how to relate to people more effectively.

Maximize the return on your organization's investment with this powerful, participant-focused,
employee-development process.

Help your employees learn to lead and perform in today’s team-oriented, diverse and information-driven workplace. Simplify complex people issues to help employees discover and capitalize on their strengths, value differences and work together effectively.

Participants will discover:

The five “R’s” of effective teams - Reasons, Roles, Responsibilities, Relationships and Results.
Their unique behavioral style, by responding to one of the DISC self-assessment tools.
How to use a conflict resolution model to resolves differences among team members

This process begins with a two-day skill-building seminar. This is not a “sit-and-get” seminar. Participants roll up their sleeves and dig into tough people issues and learn the critical skills needed to turn low-functioning teams into high-performing teams. Your employees leave these training sessions with new techniques to be more effective on the job, new people skills to build and maintain relationships and new tools to improve productivity.

The two-day seminar begins a six-month process of developing a high performing team. The process includes additional team meetings, coaching and practice – and may be conducted by your internal team members or our professional consultants.
